The Golden State Warriors are moving in the right direction this offseason.
They swiftly addressed questions looming about the future of head coach Steve Kerr and whether he’d call it quits. Kerr re-signed with the Warriors on a multi-year deal that will keep him as the highest paid coach. That was step one. Check.

Step two was finding their place in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft on June 23-24. Golden State received the No. 11 pick. Check.
Their next order of business includes scouting talent for upcoming prospects, but also planning package deals as they look to remain active during the offseason, fielding trade offers from other teams.
Not expected to be included in those trade talks is their No. 11 pick, as the Warriors are eyeing a player that they can develop, but also is NBA-ready. However, if it’s a veteran player who can help them win-now, then everything – meaning that pick – is on the table.
“I think we’re in a different place now. Right, there’s no question. And I’ve talked to Mike (Dunleavy, the Warriors GM), I mean, I don’t know the draft, but he feels really strongly that we’re going to get a good player. It could be a 19 year old, it could be someone older,” Kerr told reporters.

That means to be competitive during trade talks, the Warriors will have to be aggressive in the players they go after, and offer packages that doesn’t completely deplete their team. The Warriors could use a dominant two-way wing or an elite frontcourt player.
Here’s a list of players the Warriors could look to add this offseason:
